Monday, October 11, 2010

The day before the tropical storm, it was kind of a yucky day so we headed to the Palm Beach Zoo. It was a great zoo with a lot of animals that we haven't seen before. Including very large lizards and spiders that roam free. I did not care for the spiders too much as they were everywhere, right above your head. I thought one was going to drop down on me at any moment.

Ava and Daddy with the giant lizard/dragon. We got a good video of it too. I'll post that soon as well.

Here is the giant lizard/dragon! Pretty cool if you ask me.

Ava and I in the giant eagle's nest.

Ava chasing the birds...her favorite thing to do.

Look at that huge alligator! We realized that EVERYTHING is bigger in South Florida!!!

The sea otters were playing with Ava. It was really cute.

The big black bear.

This funny looking bird kept doing a dance for Ava. It would jump up and down, put its wings out and then make noises.

The deer...nothing too exciting but they were pretty.

Tropical Storm Nicole

While we were on vacation, a tropical storm came through called Nicole. It wasn't too bad and it gave us a reason to not spend a day at the pool. We went to this place in Palm Beach called PlayMobil. It is kind of like a lego store but attached to it is a huge play area where children can play with all the toys...in hopes that you go buy the toys your kids love. Ava had a lot of fun.

Here is a picture of what it looked like as the storm was coming in. YUCK!!!

Playing at the Pool

I'm not going to comment on every photo. Here are a ton of pictures of us playing at the pool. Both of the kids loved it and we had a great time.

He can nap anywhere!

Our little fish.

All Smiles.

Feeding the pigeons! A older lady was giving Ava pretzels to feed to the birds. It was hilarious. She'd run all over the pool to feed them!

Beach Day

We only spent one day at the beach. Ava doesn't care for the sand and won't get close to the water. So since we had a pool that was zero-entry style, we spent almost every day at the pool instead. It was much more relaxing but we had to at least go to the beach for a little bit. The picture above is a view of our resort building from the beach. It was very nice.

Isaac just chillin at the beach. It was great because they had chairs and umbrellas all set up so we didn't have to worry about shade for our little man. He loved it. :)

Just soaking up the sun.

A family picture.

Ava wearing Daddy's sunglasses. She thought it was way too bright! Silly girl!

Vacation Fun!

Ava watching the boats out of the window in our room. We had an amazing view of the inlet and could watch the boats come and go. It was free entertainment for Ava and kept her busy when we weren't at the pool or beach! :)
